Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Apple iPhone 13 Pro (128GB)

  • Excellent camera performance across all lenses with new macro photography and improved 3x optical zoom
  • Stellar ProMotion 120Hz display providing exceptionally smooth scrolling and animations
  • Significant improvement in battery life, often lasting a full day under heavy usage
  • Top-tier performance from the A15 Bionic chip, making it one of the fastest smartphones available
  • Industry-leading video quality with professional features like Cinematic mode and ProRes recording
  • Durable build with a stainless steel frame, Ceramic Shield glass, and IP68 water resistance

What we don't like about Apple iPhone 13 Pro (128GB)

  • No charger included in the box, requiring an additional purchase for most new users
  • Charging speeds are relatively slow (capped at 20W) compared to Android competitors
  • Noticeably heavy and bulky due to the stainless steel frame and large camera module
  • Still utilizes the outdated Lightning port instead of the more universal USB-C
  • Lack of Touch ID as an alternative biometric unlocking option to Face ID
  • Camera bump is significantly larger than previous models, making the phone wobble on flat surfaces

Verdict

The Apple iPhone 13 Pro (6GB + 128GB) is a high-end smartphone powered by the A15 Bionic chip and runs on iOS 15 (upgradable to later versions). Its main pros include the 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion (120Hz adaptive refresh rate), the versatile Pro camera system featuring 12MP telephoto, wide, and ultra-wide lenses with features like Cinematic Mode and ProRes video recording, and excellent battery life. Key physical specs include a Ceramic Shield front, stainless steel frame, and IP68 water resistance. Potential cons are the proprietary Lightning port instead of the more universal USB-C, and a slightly heavier build compared to non-Pro models.
